WHERE WAS ATLANTIS?

[what was Atlantis?]
Atlantis is a very well known mystery. It was first mentioned by the Greek philosopher Plato, and soon the myth was known all around the world. It was said that Atlantis was a very big continent, which was even bigger than Asia and Africa put together! It had a powerful empire, and a lot of beautiful cities. But one day, an enormous wave swept the whole continent away. Nowadays, scientists are searching for clues and proposing many theories, to answer these two questions: what had caused Atlantis to disappear, and where exactly was it now?
[a load of theories]
Scientists have proposed a lot of theories, for example, some think that a huge continent called Mu was actually Atlantis. Their theory comes from stone tablets which were found in Mexico, which had a lot of details about Mu. However, I'll show that this theory is wrong. Another theory is that a long stretch of land connected Africa to Madagascar and Asia. Maybe Atlantis was the name of this land. This theory comes from an animal, called lemur. These animals were found in Madagascar, but where also found in South Africa and parts of Asia. The stretch of land
[the theory of Discovery Magazine]is now called Lemuria. But I don't support this theory as well.
I also have a theory of my own. I think the people of Atlantis were actually the Minoans or the Mycenaeans. Their empires were huge, and were as big as Greece or even bigger. However, it couldn't ever be bigger than Asia and Africa put together, nothing could. I believe that Plato emphasized Atlantis' size too much, for even the Pacific Ocean wasn't so big. So, Atlantis couldn’t have disappeared in the sea if it was as big as Plato described it was. The Minoan empire also had evidence left by its people that an enormous tidal wave had destroyed part of it or made part of it disappear.
[dumb theories? Why?]
I think that the theory that Atlantis was Mu is wrong because records from early humans didn't mention Mu, and also, the stone tablets were found in a Mayan temple, but the Maya had no record of traveling beyond Mexico. I also don't support the theory about Lemuria, because why didn't the other strange animals of Madagascar go to South Africa, and also why didn't the exotic cultures of the people of Madagascar spread to Africa or Asia.
Although there are a lot of theories and evidence, the disappearance of Atlantis still remains a mystery……
